SMRpodcast episode #148 has been recorded, posted online, and is ready for download. This week we get an audio question from Allison Sheridan about Windows Phone, Robb got to play with a BlackBerry Dev Alpha device, and the Department of Homeland Security recommends everyone disable java in their web browser.
Rod thinks Chris needs a Borderlands 2 intervention, Amazon adds digital copies of CDs purchased over the last 14 years to your digital locker, and we all think that CBS forcing CNET to pull Dish's Hopper from the CES Best of Show finalists was a horrible decision.
We've got all this and more, plus, our picks in episode #148 of the SMRpodcast.
